Saving lives

On average 40,000 people die from the flu each year. Our experience with the Covid teaches that if you wear a mask and social distance you can save lives. For those who are truly interested in saving lives these guide lines should be followed every flu season. A good rule would be to use these safety factors when the country goes off of day light savings time. This would be a small inconvenience to save many lives. In addition there are other minor changes that people could make to save additional lives, things like wearing helmets, healthy diets and moderate use of alcohol. This could be just the beginning.
